Feeling stuck in painful patterns—whether in relationships, self-worth, or coping—can leave you feeling disconnected and weary. Taking the first step toward change takes courage and I am here to support you through your healing journey. I work with adults navigating the lasting effects of childhood trauma, traumatic events throughout the lifespan, attachment wounds, and addiction. Together, we’ll explore how life experiences (especially in early childhood) shaped your sense of safety and trust while building tools for emotional healing and self-connection.
Therapy is a collaborative process that ebbs and flows. Some sessions focus on the present moment, while others invite deeper healing and insight. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and rooted in authenticity and compassion—guiding you toward self-awareness, growth, and emotional resilience.
My hope is to provide a space where you can begin to rebuild trust in yourself, honor your needs, and reconnect with yourself to feel whole. Healing is possible, and your story is worth tending to with care, patience, and hope. I would be honored to walk alongside you towards a life that feels safe, grounded, and deeply aligned with who you truly are.

I often integrate body based practices in addition to CBT & DBT into our sessions. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With my approach, I will aid and challenge you to connect to your body as a way to connect to your emotions. I will also explore childhood experiences that influence behaviors today.
